Ja’Marr Checks Off Bucket List

What hasn’t Chase done in this sport?

After his seven catches for 110 yards, he feasted on NBC’s turkey, and after growing up watching the winning team doing that on Thanksgiving, Chase said it was a bucket list moment.

“It was not that bad. If I’m being honest, it was not that bad,” Chase said. “All of my life, I’ve been watching that game on Thanksgiving. I would see players make the crazy face after they bite it, because it was not good, but it wasn’t that bad. Maybe I’m hungry, so who knows.”

Burrow, ever the meticulous eater, didn’t partake.

“I don’t know who cooked it,” he said.

Joey Mobile

Head coach Zac Taylor said he knew Burrow was back early when he left the pocket and found Chase on some obligatory 9-1 off-script huge third downs.

“I was a little more mobile than I expected to be,” said Burrow, who is wearing a steel plate in his cleat. “We’ve got a good system on the sideline changing shoes and doing what I need to do to stay fresh.”

Tight end Tanner Hudson got a bit of redemption for last year’s two-point pass from Burrow that went awry in the last minute here as the Bengals fell short, 35-34

With the Bengals leading, 12-7, on their first drive of the second half, Burrow faced a third-and-nine from the Ravens 14 and saw Hudson running a one-on-one route toward the back corner pylon against Ravens Pro Bowl safety Kyle Hamilton. Hudson stuck out his left hand, and drew it to his right falling down for the score Zac Taylor said, “Gave us some breathing room.

“We needed somebody to make a play, and Tanner made that play on, in my opinion, the best safety in the league,” Burrow said. “He just continues to make play after play, and that one really opened the floodgates, so credit to Tanner for that one.”

More Money Mac

A week after hitting a team-record 63-yarder, McPherson drilled a career-high six field goals on all six attempts. He’s the second one in his family to ever do it.

“My little brother did it two weeks ago, and I thought that was impressive. That must be tiring,” said McPherson of the little Money Mac at Auburn. “And I’m tired.

“I never really had the chance. I feel like to hit six, it is kind of rare.”

The only Bengal to have more in a Bengals game is Shayne Graham, and he scored all of their points with seven field goals in this building in a 21-7 win over the Ravens in 2007.
